Good morning New England!The morning greeted Tom and I at 5:45 because we had to go dig our cars out of the high school parking lot by 6. What a hassle right? We both ran around the lot digging ourselves out and pushing other peoples cars as well (tom did that... not so much me). Tom kept on throwing snow at my face my accident (while I was trying to help him), however i could tell he felt bad once i flashed him a really upset face as I felt an icy chuck melt its way down my back. We were finally able to free our cars after about twenty minutes of labor until, at one point mine got stuck and when I got out to fix it I ended up completely on my face because of black ice (most likely because I didn't help tom push cars). I freed my silly little rental car while slipping and sliding around the parking lot's icy coat. Tom and I arrived back at the house, both really annoyed that we had to wake up so early, however something caught my attention that eluded my eyes towards the horizon. The sunrise. Ever since we moved to this little island I have only caught little peeks at the sunrise. But here it was, right in font of our tired, frazzled eyes. The morning now finds me at my desk, my cat sitting in the windowsill, both of us looking at the ever growing orange pinky light stretching its arms from behind its dark blue ocean blanket. Gracie (my cat) is as mesmerized as I am. I feel really thankful after all that, that I live where I do, and that I get to see it every morning, front row.

About Me

Having been slightly spoiled growing up with access to digital cameras all the time, Jenna Lou has grown as an artist using photography and bringing her images to the next level with her keen eye for color, light and composition. Before her art career lead her to college, Jenna used a makeshift traveling studio that consisted of bed sheets, desk lamps, and anything she could use around the house to create a studio environment wherever she went. Now, she attends Montserrat College of Art where she will be graduating in May 2011 with her BFA.
Having balance and control is important in her process when it comes to working with various subjects. Working with models is something Jenna has been doing since she first picked up a camera. With her attentiveness to the unique aspects of a model’s personality, along with adding her own spice to a shoot, she creates works that evoke intense emotion and narrative qualities because of the connection she has with her subject.
